The
UFC 158 event held in the last 16 days, is not over for Nick Diaz The
U.S. team, which lost the fight the main event for the Canadian Georges
St. Pierre, announced vai enter an appeal against the Athletic
Commission Quebec for his role in the show. The claim is the existence of irregularities in the conduct of drug testing and weighing.According to Diaz's action team, the committee did not respect the rule of weighing the UFC. The
accusation is based on a video released last Monday (25), in which the
vice president of business and legal affairs of the UFC, Michael Mersch,
is shown saying that because the committee does not count the decimal
place the
weight values, athletes could exhibit a weight exceeding the limit of
category welterweight, 170 pounds (77.1 kg), provided that it does not
exceed the 171 pounds (77.56 kg).At
the site "MMA Fighting", responsible for the Quebec Athletic
Commission, Joyce Tremblay confirmed that the entity does not weigh in
decimals, but said no athlete extrapolated the weight limits provided
for in their contracts.The reaction of the legal advisor of Diaz, Jonathan Tweedale, was almost immediate. Tweedale
issued an official statement declaring that the event's March 16 "was
not conducted under the rules applicable to a fight for the UFC title." Moreover, it argued that "the weight hired for this fight was 170 pounds. 170.9 is not 170, anywhere in the world, a title shot. " Finally, Jonathan also questioned the legitimacy of the dope test applied in GSP."Other
serious irregularities including, inter alia (among others), the
failure of the Quebec Commission to oversee the provision of samples of
the fighters in connection with testing for Prohibited Substances and
Prohibited Methods (under sections 71.1 to 71.6 of the Regulation), will
be included in a resource officer will be done imminently. In
the circumstances, Mr. St-Pierre remains legally and ethically bound to
face Diaz with 77.11 kilograms, or vacate the belt in favor of those
prepared to fight at welterweight weight "fired.
